In a region of constant potential

Free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential.

Do free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential?

Do electrons tend to go to regions of high potential ?

Assertion: A small electric dipole is moved translatonally from higher potential to lower potential in uniform electric field. Work done by electric is positive. Reason: When a positive charge is moved from higher potential to lower potential, work done by electric field positive.

A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge.
